Ssomeone (some ONE person, that is) needs to step up and take more action. Announce that the org has been created, here's the discussion group, here's the iBOD, etc. If that one person acts wisely, something might take off. I suggest rather than nominating other people, folks who are genuinely interested in doing something nominate themselves. That might spark enough interest in the ONE person to say, "hey, I like the look of that iBOD, I'll run with that"

What's needed on the iBOD is people who are:

a) motivated to do the startup gruntwork
b) have the skills, initiative, etc. to actually do it in a reasonable time frame
c) are willing to give it all up in a reasonable time frame when the first elections are held for the eBOD

Cross-posting this to the iBOD thread.

p.s. I have no interest in being on the iBOD


I cross posted Hanks response from anther thread.... and I agree with what he has posted 100%. :2thumbs:

At this point in time you just need to find someone to do the work.... accepting volunteers (if there are any) would be my suggestion.

i have little desire to be on an iBOD, (whatever that means) mostly because i don't think i have any reasonable qualifications other than a unique ability to piss off pretty much everyone. however, i do have time and interest in seeing this actually happen. i will donate my time and resources to the creation of a website and new forum, build some graphics, and get the ball rolling. whatever that means or takes, i say we just do it. there are at least a couple of immediate issues i think the community can/should get behind immediately (like the Zion Wilderness Permit discussion).

if that means calling me part of an iBOD, so be it, as long as we have an actual legitimate, transparent, community-based organization eventually mature from these early efforts.

any more volunteers? enough talk, let's get this thing GOING.

Before you begin I suggest you read this thread again:
http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthread.php?60932

Lots of important stuff in that thread that you might find useful.

:cool2:

[CarpeyBiggs]

uh... ok? what are you suggesting ice?

[Iceaxe]

If a new organization is a must.......

I'm just hoping to see a new organization and not ACA Version 2.0 under new management. The thread mentioned details many of the pitfalls Rich encountered and some excellent suggestions for avoiding them.... YMMV...

I wish you all the best in you endeavor. :2thumbs:
